    If I had a £1 for every time that promises and statements were made by politicians I would be evicting Richard Branson on Tuesday as I now own his island!

    It will not happen or I should say it will be so severely watered down that very few pensioners will actually qualify.

    The Chancellor of the Exchequer can't afford to give all 270,000 pensioners a semi permanent (10 year cycle) benefit windfall. 
    A pensioner on enhanced for both rakes in £580 of PIP every 4 weeks If they would have had the normal 4 year award, review after three years, the intention would be to give them another 7 years worth of money £52,780 without any reviews to see if they would actually be entitled to it. This also disregards any premiums they will also get because of the longer PIP award period.
